Any student living in Philadelphia is eligible to apply for the lottery at Thomas Campus. We give preference to students with siblings currently attending the school. First preference, however, is given to students living within the 19148 zip code, followed by students living within zip codes 19145, 19146, and 19147, followed by all other applicants. This is so we can serve as a neighborhood school, per our charter.
